'Hints of light flicker across the darkness of his long jacket as he silently stalks his prey through the forest. Each movement is quietly marked by the flipping fabric that flaps softly behind him. Each step draws him closer to 'her' property-an old lady known to many as Granny, but to him of course, as mom. He hefts his hunting axe firmly in the palm of his hand readying to strike down his prey with a deadly throw. The foliage is thick and dense, it causes him to constantly lose sight of the beast-his only trail are the bloody impressions it leaves with each step. A trail that is leading him over the river where he first shot the creature, then through the thick woods, and now finally towards Granny's house he goes. The adrenaline rushes through his blood as the chase ventures even closer to her house, all of a sudden the sound of a loud thunk rang gratifyingly in his ears signaling he had caught the beast. But then suddenly a great light surrounded him as he made his approach towards the beast, and before he knew it he was in a large room surrounded by summoners-leaving his family now without food.

"Walter R. Flagg", the summoners said in unison, "you are hereby charged with poaching on royal land, how do you plead?"

Walter looked up at the summoners knowing the punishment for poaching on her majesty's land was death, and calmly said, "Guilty."

"Very well, you are hereby sentenced to death, which will be carried out on the Fields of Justice; however, if you survive long enough you are free to go."

Imprisonment through championship, so this is what it came down to after all. His family's only hope was that each day he continued fighting and stayed alive. And so long as he did, his family would be taken care of by the Institute. '

"My only regret is that my prey wasn't Red (http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=2827253)." Walter upon imprisonment.

Over the river and through the woods, to Grandmother's house we go....

This started going through my head as I read the lore... sadly no river was mentioned in it.

That aside, I enjoyed it. It was well thought out with reasons for being placed in the league. Could feel him begrudgingly agreeing to join. Only because of no other choice and to help his family. Though I'm sure he'd rather just head straight home and help there as normal instead of risking his life as a champion.

The abilities blend nicely with each other. I'd see him mainly as a jungler with the ability to place a brush and extended vision on targets.

Couple of questions:

Well, mainly this one. I his E an AoE Taunt? or AoE Stun? I could also see it working like a Silence if you allow them to move, but forced to look at one spot. Not really sure how this is supposed to distract them in a top down game at the moment as there is no status effect like that yet.

On the Ultimate, what counts as the back of the target? An area like if there was a circle around the champion indicating front, back and sides evenly divided, would you only be able to attack in that back 90 degree section of the circle, or is it a 180 degree section so you can attack the back and to the side a bit as well?

Last question is a personal one while they are different, brush idea sparked from Shia's wall? Meh, could just be me to prideful... Of course the moves are completely different other than the ability to block vision. Actually, now that I think about it, does your brush look exactly like the normal brush or does it have a slight different look? If it looks the same, they you could even place it in other brush or at the edges of brush seemingly extending them without the enemy noticing. Also, does the brush have a channel time or take a moment to summon? If it has a short summon time, you could give it the animation of growing. If not and it's instant, it may be a little to powerful being able to summon it right on top of the enemy, snaring, dealing damage and marking them with Trailblaze. Also, if you leave it as an instant summon brush, I would consider lowering the range a on it to like 600-650.

May also be fun to see some special lines when killing or attacking beast looking champions (like Warwick) since he is a hunter =^.^=
